​Smart solution to get seniors working out

South China Morning Post, 10 Mar

72-year-old retiree Tang Chong Meng is one of 760-plus elderly Singaporeans who use the digital platforms WhatsApp and Facebook every day to access workout videos specially produced for 60-to 75-year-olds. The video tutorials - along with other health-related resources for the elderly - are part of "Ready, Steady, Go", a non-profit health communication campaign that provides a fresh and interactive angle on fall prevention. “Through this campaign, we hope to encourage older adults to take ownership of their health and incorporate SBF exercises into their daily lives,” said Yeo Sze-G, a final-year communications student at NTU Singapore, who is also one of the teammates behind "Ready, Steady, Go". The campaign is part of a final-year academic project at the university's WKWSCI.
